Our scripts spatially normalize and brain-extract the anatomical scans for each participant. The scripts generate a volume rendering for each individual’s image (left). Since the unified segmentation-and-normalization process creates a virtuous cycle, better alignment results in tissue identification. This surface rendering provides a simple method to ensure that the shape and size of each individual’s brain have been accurately aligned. The scripts also create mean images (right) for the entire population.
